Chapter 39: Entering the Dao

Boss Xie was not in the project department, and it was said that he went to another construction site, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

After more than a week of working in the distant mountains without any significant results, I really don't know how to say to him, this kind of thing is much easier to say on the phone than to say it in person.

Zhang Jingui was still in charge of the construction site, and a few team leaders didn't know how to say that the boss was gone, and there were a few more strange workers on the construction site, probably transferred from elsewhere.

Although they had heard about what had happened, they had not seen or experienced it with their own eyes, and their fear was not so strong.

"Sun Gong, master, what do they say?" Zhang Jingui's nose was red and full of alcohol, which made me wonder if he had been relying on wine to strengthen his courage during this time.

"It's going to take some time." That's all I can answer. "Have you seen Zhang Laogen?"

"Nope." Zhang Jingui said dejectedly.

Other than that, the atmosphere was not too panicked.

Hewei Village has not made trouble again, Zhang Dali is still in the hospital, but it is said that he is very conscious, he sent his son to the county seat to go to school, it seems that the matter is not resolved, and their family will not come back.

Master Cao and I went to Hewei Village, on the one hand, to ask if there were any old people in the village who knew about these things, and on the other hand, to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Zhang Laogen, but to no avail.

When I came back, I saw Zhang Jingui getting drunk and being taken to the dormitory.

The rest of the workers all gathered together to drink, and the construction site looked depressed and hopeless.

"Zhang Laogen should be the only one in the vicinity who understands these things, there are so many people and so many cars in Heihezi, and it is impossible for him to make so many talismans alone." Master Cao judged this, so we began to look for the elderly man in his seventies along the nearby village.

Time passed like this, and although we went out early and returned late every day, and sometimes had to stay in the surrounding villages, there were no clues. Heihezi is one of the most isolated areas in Wengen County, many old people can't even understand Chinese, and there is an unexplained hostility towards the two of us, we see many cars with the monster's peace charm, but when we want to ask where we came from, everyone is full of hostility towards us.

If it had been ancient times, I think the two of us would have disappeared and slept in a nearby ravine.

"We really don't know where these things come from." Director Wu and Township Chief Li kept answering like this, as if they had never said those words at the wine table.

"If the project can't be moved, the performance of the two of you will also be affected!" I tried to convince them like this, but they just laughed and didn't say anything.

Boss Xie finally came back again, and at this time, more than 20 days had passed since the last time the county leaders came to the meeting, and he looked very haggard and bloodshot.

"Master Cao, when can I return to work?"

"Until we figure out what happened, Boss Xie, it's better not to think about this aspect of things."

"And when will we figure out what happened?" He asked.

Master Cao let out a long sigh and said, "Boss Xie, I know that you are under a lot of pressure, but if you start work rashly, if someone is killed because of this, isn't the pressure you have to bear even greater?" ”

Boss Xie did not answer.

"I promise you will do your best, but when will I be able to figure this matter out and find a solution, I really can't answer you."

Boss Xie nodded slowly, shook his head slowly, and finally walked out.

"Master Cao......" I felt that his reaction was a little wrong, but Master Cao just nodded at me and asked me to continue practicing Tuna.

Master Cao had long seen that I was not a person with wise roots, and that I was too busy to have time when I was in the distant mountains, and after arriving in Heihezi, he began to explain in detail the terms in the "Brief Record of the True Machines of the Cardinals of the Enlightenment".

He and Master Lu had their own adventures back then, but most of the foundation was laid little by little by their own efforts, maybe Master Lu had high hopes for me, but to be honest, I really couldn't get started without a little relevant common sense. If it weren't for Master Cao's patient explanation, I wouldn't have imagined that those nouns meant something like that.

"It seems that what Lao Lu gave you is still deep, and when you have the opportunity, you have to learn from the most basic things." He shook his head and said. "Let's deal with this one first."

What he taught me was a method that he had figured out on his own, which roughly integrated the contents of two or three Taoist cultivation secret books, and made some adjustments and simplifications according to the current objective conditions, which can be regarded as a convenient method.

Of course, this is not good for laying a foundation, but it can quickly give a person who has no foundation a little bit of mana.

If it is those sects that have been inherited for a long time, his approach is definitely a big rebellion, but in terms of practicality, it is much better than the books that Master Lu gave me.

This night is the fifteenth, the moon in the sky is rare not hiding behind the peaks on both sides, I sat in my dormitory, according to Master Cao's instructions these days, five hearts to the sky, the intention to guard the dantian, silently in my heart at a certain speed of speech to recite the formula, adjust the breathing, in order to achieve his requirements of "spit only fine, accept only the soft, hold the three levels, the heart is at ease" realm.

Master Cao was meditating right across from me, his breathing getting slower and lighter, and soon he became almost indistinguishable.

And under the impetus of this, I gradually entered a mysterious situation.

It's hard to describe, although we sat on the bed in the dormitory, it was like being in the quiet wilderness for me, the moonlight fell on me like a real thing, bringing a gentle and pleasant touch, and between every breath, it seemed that something entered my body, and then something came out.

By the time I woke up from my meditation, it was already bright outside the window.

I sat like this all night?

Master Cao was still sitting across from me, and I quietly put my legs down, and to my surprise, after sitting like this for a night, my body was not as numb and painful as before, but refreshed, and it seemed that every cell exuded vitality.

I studied my body carefully, and it may have been an illusion, but I really felt that it had become lighter.

Master Cao opened his eyes at this time.

"Congratulations, you can now call yourself a monk." He said with a smile.
